AESTHETICS · SKIN REJUVENATION

Microneedling

Stimulate your skin's natural renewal process and address everything from fine lines and acne scars to uneven texture with minimal downtime and results that keep improving.

Find Your Location
Aesthetics - Microneedling

What Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that works with your body, not against it. Using a medical-grade device called SkinPen, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface, triggering your body's natural healing response. The result is a boost in collagen and elastin production: the proteins responsible for keeping skin smooth, firm, and youthful-looking.

As we age, collagen production gradually slows, and signs of this change appear in fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dull skin. Microneedling helps reverse that process by giving your skin a reason to regenerate. Because the treatment works at the cellular level, it's effective across a wide range of concerns and compatible with all skin tones.

Goals Addressed
Soften fine lines and wrinkles
Reduce the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars
Improve skin texture and tone
Minimize the look of enlarged pores
Address sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Diminish stretch marks
Support overall skin health and radiance
Pairs Well With
PRP
Add platelet-rich plasma to enhance results and support deeper skin repair.
Chemical Peels
Targets surface-level texture and tone to complement microneedling's deeper collagen stimulation.
BBL (BroadBand Light)
Addresses pigmentation, redness, and sun damage on the surface, while microneedling repairs beneath the skin.
WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens at Your Appointment?

Every microneedling session begins with a brief check-in to assess the treatment area and make sure your skin is ready. Here's how it typically unfolds:

1

Consultation

Before your first treatment, your provider reviews your skin concerns, goals, and health history to determine whether microneedling is the right fit and how it should be customized for your skin.
2

Treatment

A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is ready, your provider uses SkinPen to make small, precise passes across the treatment area. The device creates thousands of microchannels in the skin. Most sessions take around 30 minutes.
3

You're Done

There's no downtime required. Your skin will appear flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, for the first day or two, after which most patients return to their normal routine. Your provider will send you home with guidance on caring for your skin after treatment.

Your Experience With Microneedling

Results from microneedling are gradual by design. Because the treatment works by prompting your skin to rebuild itself, improvements deepen over weeks as new collagen matures. Most patients notice a visible difference within one to two weeks of their first session, with optimal results developing over three to four months.

The number of sessions recommended will depend on your specific concerns. Many patients achieve meaningful improvement in one to four treatments, while more significant scarring or texture concerns may benefit from additional sessions. Your provider will build a plan tailored to your skin and goals from the start.

Timeline at a Glance

Days 1–3
Mild redness and minor swelling are normal. Avoid makeup, chemical exfoliants, and direct sun exposure while your skin begins to heal.
Days 5–7
Redness fades. Skin may feel slightly dry or appear flaky as surface-level healing wraps up. Use provider-recommended skincare.
Days 10–14
Skin takes on a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Early texture improvement is often visible by this point.
Months 3–4
Collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface. Pores appear smaller, scarring looks less pronounced, and overall tone becomes more even.

Caitlin Lutz and her assistant were awesome. My 1st time visiting this office and I was very very pleased. Caitlin removed a mole in question that I had damaged, took a culture of another to have them tested and frozen the 3rd. She was concerned if I was feeling any pain during the procedures, which I was not. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Morgan Cheripko at Katz Dermatology highly enough. After months of struggling with a persistent forehead skin condition and seeing little improvement, I sought a second opinion with Morgan. She carefully evaluated my skin and changed my treatment plan and the difference has been incredible. Over the following months, my forehead improved dramatically. At my most recent follow-up, only a few small spots remained and today my forehead is virtually clear with no active spots. Looking back at the before-and-after photos in my chart, the improvement is remarkable. What I appreciated most was that Morgan was willing to reevaluate my condition instead of simply continuing a treatment that wasn't working. She explained what to expect, answered my questions, and created a treatment plan that ultimately gave me the results I had been hoping for. If you're struggling with a persistent condition or have been told one diagnosis but aren't getting better, I highly recommend seeing Morgan Cheripko. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and for helping me get my confidence back.

Dr. Jenna was absolutely wonderful. I had been putting off a full-body skin scan for years out of fear—especially about the possibility of skin cancer. But from the moment I walked in, Dr. Jenna made me feel at ease. She walked me through the entire process, explained each mole and bump in clear, reassuring terms, and asked for my permission every step of the way. I even agreed to a biopsy, and I'm so glad I did. Her assistant was just as kind and professional, and the front desk staff made the whole experience warm and welcoming. I've already recommended this practice to others. I may have more follow-up needs in the fall, but one thing’s for sure—I won’t be putting off my scans anymore.

I am totally satisfied with his medical examinations. However, trying to get in touch by phone became a horror show since he became part of the larger group. The first call said there was a 39 minute wait time. I was able to leave a message to be called later. I was unable to answer the return call, but a message was left on my machine. Unfortunately, the message started skipping and I could not hear all of the new phone number to be called. My second call soon got the recorded message announcing the wait time as one minute. It then kept repeating the one minute wait time message over and over and over. After 5 minutes of this, I hung up. On my third try, the recording said over and over and over that the wait time was the 8 minutes. After getting frustrated again, I was about to hang up when suddenly the call was answered--by a lady who sounded very, very bored with her job.

I've been coming to NA Derm for over 10 years. I absolutely love Dr. Douchy; he quickly diagnosed my Melanoma, and sent me to Emory. I'll always be grateful to him for his quick action that may have saved my life in the long run. His PA - Leah, is so sweet, and she puts me at ease with my concerns. She is thorough also, which I appreciate, because of my history of Melanoma. The front office staff are so sweet and friendly as well.

Dr Harvey and his staff are an excellent choice for skin care. He and his staff are always welcoming with their knowledgeable, friendly, and professional manner. The office is clean and comfortable and the building offers ample parking with handicapped spaces close to the entry, which is covered for easy drop off should there be rain. I wouldn’t want to go any where else.

I want to preface this by saying I have severe social anxiety and advocating for my health is not easy for me to do. This was my first visit at AA Dermatology- Columbia. I was seen by Mackenzie Doshi, P.A.-C for a severe eczema flare up on my hands. I had been seen by others previously and they just kept giving me creams that I made clear to them, were not working for me. Dr. Doshi listened to my concerns and actually came up with a different treatment plan to try. I haven’t started the new regimen yet but I already feel better knowing that I have someone that will listen to me and treat me as an individual because healthcare is not one size fits all.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Julia for the incredible transformation of my skin. Before seeing her, I honestly didn’t know how to properly care for my skin, but she educated me step by step and recommended the right treatments for me. I had a peeling treatment and other procedures, and my face looks completely different—in the best way. I joke that she took at least 10 years off my face! Beyond the results, her professionalism and care truly stand out. She has helped restore my confidence, and any woman knows how valuable that is. I highly recommend her.

Dr.Fetzek is exactly what you want in a dermatologist, takes the time to listen and address any and all questions or concerns you may have. Takes the time to get to “know” you and your lifestyle and takes that into consideration when forming a treatment plan. As a patient, I feel confident in her abilities to manage and address my issues in a timely manner.

See Ashley Pierson! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walking into a dermatologist’s office for a second opinion on a cancer diagnosis from another dermatologist, I was understandably nervous. From the moment I walked through the door, everyone—from the front office staff to Ashley Pierson, PA—was absolutely wonderful. Ashley was kind, compassionate, thorough, and made me feel comfortable during what was a very stressful visit. That kind of care means more than people realize. My daughter was with me for the appointment and was so impressed with Ashley that she made an appointment for herself before we left! Needless to say, you have gained two loyal patients. We will both be coming here for our dermatology care going forward. Thank you, Ashley, and the entire staff for treating us with such kindness and providing such a great experience. It was sincerely appreciated!

ADDRESSING TOP MICRONEEDLING CONCERNS

Your Microneedling Questions, Answered

Most patients tolerate the treatment well with a topical numbing cream applied beforehand. You may feel a mild vibration or warming sensation during the session, but significant discomfort is uncommon.

Most sessions take approximately 30 minutes, not including time for the numbing cream to take effect. Plan for about an hour from arrival to checkout.

That depends on your goals. Many patients see noticeable improvement after one to four sessions. Concerns like moderate acne scarring or more significant texture issues may benefit from additional treatments. Your provider will outline a recommended plan during your initial consultation.

Treatments can be safely repeated every four to six weeks, allowing adequate time for your skin to heal and begin producing new collagen between sessions.

For the first few days following your session, avoid direct sun exposure, makeup, chemical exfoliants (like retinoids and AHAs), and activities that cause excessive sweating. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your skin.

Yes. Microneedling is effective and safe for all skin tones, which makes it a versatile option for patients who may not be candidates for certain laser treatments.

Absolutely. Microneedling pairs especially well with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, Aerolase, and Tetra PRO. Your provider can recommend a combination approach if it aligns with your goals.

Standard microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries. Adding PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly into those micro-channels, supporting deeper repair. PRP is particularly beneficial for acne scarring and hair loss. Ask your provider whether the addition makes sense for your skin.

Initial improvements in texture and tone are often noticeable within one to two weeks. Full results continue to develop over three to four months as the remodeling process completes.

Minimal. Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for one to three days, with possible minor swelling or dryness as healing progresses. The majority return to their regular schedule within 24 to 48 hours.
